Technical Note DOER-C2

May 1999

from the appropriate characterization tests will provide information useful in determining the

current physical, engineering, chemical, and biological properties of the dredged material. Knowl-

edge of the properties and the limitations (e.g., contaminant bioavailability) of the dredged material

will aid in determining the alternatives for beneficial uses.
